Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Peppers, who grows them ?

You should see my cabbages, broccoli, and tater plants. I should get a good harvest from them this year.

Wife asked why the strawberries were finally starting to bloom heavy. I had to tell her the majority of the plants are a June bearing variety, but up here we have our June in Late July and August.

The bell peppers I planted never came up. The jalapeno, habanero, Hatch, Scotch bonnet, and cayenne are all doing OK. They are making more than I can eat. No one else here will eat them except me.

I have 16 plants this year. I am not a big hot pepper dude, though I love poblanos anchos and have 4 plants usually . I dry them and store them. My other plants are a variety of sweet peppers. They all do well here if I can keep the moles and ground squirrels away from the roots.

I planted just a few bell peppers and a dozen green chilies. The green chilies usually have their peppers later. The keep producing until frost. I have a few small peppers on them but it’s early. The plants look great so fingers crossed. Hopefully I get enough that I don’t need to buy some.

So far it’s been the best gardening season in a while.

i planted banana peppers this year for the first time. they grew like crazy but the deer decided they liked them . they get to about 20" high and they mow them off. they have grown that tall 3-4 times and they eat them again. haven't gotten one pepper.

anyone got a deer loin and banana pepper recipe?

Jalapeno, banana and thai chilis have been doing great last couple of years.
